Why should you be concerned about how your company manages Intellectual Property? ...because a man with a briefcase can steal more than any man with a gun!
Did you know:
- A PCs delete key erases a only the file address; the data remains
until t is written over?
- If you disclose information on one of your ideas to another party,
they can patent your idea and charge you a fee to use the idea you gave
them?
- Software help lines can provide a vehicle for software companies to
gather the information they need to present a facts case before a judge,
get a warrant, and send Federal Marshals into your buildings to search
for pirated software?
- Your company trademarks need to be used in keeping with designated
graphic standards, even when used internally, and actively policed
outside the company or rights can be lost to a valuable mark? Trademarks
like aspirin, kerosene, escalator and lanolin have been lost due to a
failure to protect them by the original owner.
- New revenue streams can be created by changing the way you work with
vendors?
- You can "wire together" existing patented ideas and file for a new
patent on the resulting idea?
